Getting Rid of Your Wrinkles, Smile and Frown Lines and Those 11’s!

Unfortunately we all get older. It’s a fact of life that we cannot change. But just because we age doesn’t mean we FEEL OLD. But increasingly noticing wrinkles on our faces sure doesn’t help. Around our mouths with smile and frown lines, and of course the 11’s on our forehead. Fortunately BOTOX was innovated by ophthalmologist medical research. And it works! When in the hand’s of an experienced injector, BOTOX is an extremely reliable solution to address facial wrinkles.

Yes, An Expert Physician Injector Makes a Difference!

Does it matter who your BOTOX injector is? Absolutely! People often make the mistake of choosing a BOTOX provider solely on price. That can be a big mistake however. At YMD Eye & Face, Dr. Yeilding does ALL filler and BOTOX injections. Additionally, Dr. Yeilding is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon. And during her intensive fellowship training in oculoplastics and facial plastic surgery she conducted a complex study that compared BOTOX to another alternative botulinum toxin treatment. So what does that all mean to you? Unlike many low-cost BOTOX providers, because of Dr. Yeilding’s extensive medical training and experience, she has an extensive knowledge of the complex human facial anatomy, and an advanced injection technique that results in the most natural outcomes.*

BOTOX has deep Ophthalmologist roots – including Dr. Yeilding.

California Ophthalmologist Dr. Alan B Scott, while a scientist in the late 1970’s for Smith Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, did the first FDA clinical studies using botulinum toxin in humans. He published his work in the Transactions of the American Ophthalmological Society in 1981 showing safe and effective results to relax eye muscles that caused strabismus (misalignment of both eyes- sometimes appearing as crossed eyes, or one eye turned out). Allergan Inc purchased Dr. Scott’s company and attained the first FDA approvals in 1988 for what was renamed BOTOX, for treatment of strabismus and blepharospasm (when the eyelid muscle goes into spasm). It was another Ophthalmologist, Dr. Jean Carruthers, who was conducting a BOTOX blepharospasm study, accidentally discovered the first cosmetic benefit of BOTOX when she found her study patients had reduced glabellar frown lines. Dr. Carruthers went on to publish a large body of work pioneering the use of BOTOX Cosmetic, including defining the scientific methods for assessing cosmetic efficacy. In Dr. Yeilding’s clinical study, she used the Carruthers methodology and validated grading scales to assess patient results for glabellar lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet.

As our faces age, one of the most common physiological changes is the thinning of our skin while also increasing skin laxity (stretching). When another common aging effect happens, a decrease in fat pads of the face with age, we find that gravity makes the skin sag. For saggy, thinning skin attached to very active muscles, the repetitive muscle movement causes the skin to bunch up and we see wrinkles. Some of the most common repetitive muscle contractions are smiling, frowning and squinting.

Three common wrinkle problems due to muscle contractions are:

Crow’s Feet

Forehead Lines

Glabellar Lines (the 11’s)

Botox®, The Gold Standard in Neuromodulator/Neurotoxin

BOTOX® is the gold standard neuromodulator/neurotoxin (also known as neuromodulation). Introduced in 2002, BOTOX® Cosmetic was a revolutionary product for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines (those 11’s between your eye brows). BOTOX® has also recently received FDA approval for crow’s feet. Since 2002 multiple uses of BOTOX® have been shown safe and effective, including treating strabismus, blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), cervical dystonia, spasticity of elbow, wrist and finger muscles, chronic migraines, urinary incontinence, crow’s feet wrinkles and more. Dr. Carruthers compared BOTOX® to Penicillin because it was so versatile against a wide range of conditions. Cosmetic uses grew very quickly because it had very apparent results, does not require surgery and has essentially no recovery time. Over 11 million BOTOX procedures have been done in the United States alone.

In Summary:

BOTOX® is proven: Allergan has shown that 92% of patients surveyed were satisfied with their results.

Its long lasting: Results that can be easily seen and lasts 3 to 4 months.

Reliable results when administered by an expert injector like Dr. Yeilding.

No Downtime from surgery: This non-surgical procedure takes about 10 minutes.

Brilliant Distinctions: Allergan, the maker of BOTOX is very consumer friendly, offering a rewards program that is highly beneficial to patients who participate.

How does BOTOX® Work?

Using a fine needle, Dr. Yeilding injects BOTOX into precise muscle locations without requiring anesthesia. The treatment is usually completed in about 15 minutes in our Orlando office. By acting on the neuromuscular synapse, BOTOX reduces muscle contraction and therefore the wrinkles that go with it. This effect is not permanent however but does last 3 to 4 months depending on the patient.

How fast is the BOTOX® recovery?

Within minutes any effects at the injection sites are typically gone, certainly within an hour. There is essentially no recovery time with most patients. Sometime there is slight bruising but this is rare with Dr. Yeilding’s gentle injection technique. The full effect of BOTOX is in 2 weeks after treatment, however Dr. Yeilding finds her patients receive significant benefit by day 3.*

Is BOTOX® the right choice for me?

There are many different types of wrinkles we acquire with age and the details turn out to be highly patient specific. All patients are different yet almost every patient does seem to have at least ONE of the issues above. During your consultation with Dr. Yeilding she will access all of the anatomical elements- fat pad position and size, muscle tone, muscle movement, skin thinning, skin laxity (stretching). For patients with glabellar line (the 11’s), forehead lines, crow’s feet or frown/laugh lines around the mouth, Dr. Yeilding will determine whether BOTOX is the right choice for you.

Dr. Yeilding’s Customized Treatment Plan for YOU

Based on her detailed assessment, Dr Yeilding will carefully create a custom treatment plan that considers your age and aesthetic goals. Sometimes when there is more than one issue, Dr. Yeilding will advise you to first tackle that issue that can be helped the most with a single treatment. This way the patient can evaluate how the results feel to them over time. Most of Dr. Yeilding’s patients are thinking long term, and many receive multiple treatments over time, some more aggressively than others, but Dr. Yeilding will restrict the amount and scope of treatments to always yield conservative but effective aesthetic enhancement. Knowing when to say no, verses doing a little more is one of Dr. Yeilding’s key attributes. Patient well being is always first with Dr. Yeilding.

Where did BOTOX® come from?

The most interesting thing about Botulinum A Toxin (BTX) is that, in its undiluted and natural form, it is a potent poison – a neurotoxic protein that is produced by the clostridium botulinum bacterium. If ingested by a human, BTX can cause a life-threatening type of food poisoning, called botulism. However, in its commercially refined and purified configuration, BTX, better known as “Botox,” it is a useful drug that doctors employ as an effective treatment for many different types of health problems.

Approved as a muscle relaxant by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989, BOTOX® was originally used to treat facial spasms, eyelid spasms (blepharospasm), the muscle spasms that cause strabismus, or crossed eyes, and cervical dystonia (a neurological movement disorder). BOTOX works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that the brain sends to a muscle, commanding it to contract. When a targeted muscle is no longer getting the body’s normal electrical/chemical stimulus to contract, formerly uncontrollable spasms are reduced or eliminated.

Over time, physicians began to administer BOTOX® for several other medical conditions, including:

Cosmetic use for BOTOX® treatments

Because of its ability to halt muscle contractions, in effect, causing temporary muscle paralysis, Botox began to be seen as an effective neuromodulator for aging skin and a way to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe “frown lines” between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). When underlying facial muscles don’t contract, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled.

After producing encouraging results in formal, clinical trials, the FDA approved the use of BOTOX® for cosmetic use in 2002. In addition to frown lines, BOTOX® can also help reduce “crow’s feet” and other fine lines on the forehead and around the lips and eyes – lines and wrinkles that tend to accumulate over time as a result of years of smiling, frowning, and squinting.

Today, BOTOX® cosmetic providers, in addition to plastic surgeons, include dermatologists, aesthetic spa physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, nurses and physician assistants. However, results can vary widely based on the medical background and experience of the provider. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there were approximately 6.3 million BOTOX® procedures performed in the United States in 2013. The global market for botulinum toxin products is forecast to reach $2.9 billion by 2018.

The BOTOX® Procedure

BOTOX® is a safe and non-invasive procedure that can offer its users a more youthful appearance without surgical intervention or long recovery periods. In fact, a typical procedure usually lasts only ten minutes. The treatment is injected into the muscle one to three times via a very fine needle. Minor side effects are rare, and may include a slight redness or swelling at the injection site(s) which normally diminishes very quickly. Following treatment, visible results of BOTOX® Cosmetic are usually noticed within 3–5 days. The maximum benefit will be reached within one or two weeks.

A single treatment lasts about three months. The effect fades gradually, but since it can be repeated indefinitely with no lasting harm, a patient can return for treatments three or four times a year. However, BOTOX® should not be used during pregnancy, while nursing, or in combination with certain medications.

Before having a BOTOX® procedure, consult with Dr. Yeilding about any of the following you might have taken recently:

Blood-thinning drugs

Antibiotics by injection

Muscle relaxants

Allergy or cold medicine

Sleep medicine
